From the 11th to the 13th November Berlin’s favourite music combined convention/festival is on again.
Yup, next week Tuesday-Thursday you can drench yourself in brand new up-and-coming music, handpicked by a bunch of people who do handpicking in their sleep.
Not only though. That would be weird.

Listen to Berlin: Awards Show 11th @ Kulturbrauerei
…is the institution that’s been running for a number of years now, with one mission: to shine a light on the best new artists and bands coming up from the streets of Berlin. And now with a special ‘yoof’ section,
The award ceremony takes place on November 11, 2025, at the Kesselhaus in the Kulturbrauerei – acting as the festive kick-off to the Most Wanted: Music 2025 convention and the second edition of the LISTEN TO BERLIN: YOUTH conference for young talent. Three formats, one attitude: music as a place for exchange, visibility, and questions about the future.
Nominees include Charlotte Colace, Brenda Blitz and Yetundey – all bright lights on the independent Berlin music scene.
Listen to Berlin: Youth Showcase 12th @ Frannz Club
And to make sure that young people coming onto the scene get a look in too, on the 12th at Frannz Club (also in the Kulturbrauerei) you’ll be able to catch all the newest yoof acts, like:
- Liyo
- Cassiopeia
- Rüya
- Sector 5
- Sapphire
- Dead Headz
Most Wanted: Music Live – 12-13th @ various venues (think Kulturbrauerei)
If you’re in the music business or you’re just interested in it, then the two days of the Most Wanted: Music convention will scrunch you up, ring you out and leave you begging for more: over 150 speakers; over 100 workshops, seminars and talks; and enough networking to shake a stick at (which is, you’ll be surprised to learn, quite a lot of networking).

That’s in the daytime. And in the nighttime…
In the nighttime, over two nights, a whole glaboogl of artists will be there to entertain you and make you sweat til you can’t sweat no more. From Berlin indie stalwarts like Brenda Blitz (bouncy punkish pop), Charlotte Colace (60s-inspired soul), newcomer sensation Ellice (yeah, pop, kind of thing, but with an edge), to electro acts like Dim Fumes and Gotopo who does something weirdly south american with techno; with luminaries like the frankly jaw-dropping and slightly spooky Lyhre and DasRadial – and let’s not forget indie luvvie Taubenraucher – stopping you from being even remotely able to pigeonhole anything.
